PRICES OF FARM PRODUCTS.

Whether il is wise, by one act which no.
body can thoroughly understand, virtually TO
change the prices of nearly all products both
for consumers and for producers, is a question
which must be left TO the Western and South
crn supporters of the Interstate bill TO answer
after years experience They arc beginning
TO understs nd il now. Hundreds Of cvasions
will be devised of which part will prove
futile In multitude OF cases the Commission
will find it necessary TO interrupt the operation
of the law. But the general effect of the law
must be to increase charges for transportation
long distances, and this will especially affect
the prices of bulky products
To understand how this change will work,
il Is necessary to observe how the gradual re-
duction of IA les under free competition has
worked. Twenty years ago through rates were
about three times those lately charged, and on
bushel Of wheat from Chicago TO Ncw-Yorb
about 40 cents, against Is cents during the
last season. This great reduction OF rates
has not added 80 cents TO the price which
| Western farmers obtain for their wheat nor
| has il taken 80 cents from the price paid by
| Eastern consumers. The saving has been
divided between the two, in different measure
at different points or in different seasons, but
always the farmer has received substantii lily
higher price than he used TO receive at tho
same distance from Eastern markets, and
always tho Eastern customer has obtained his
food at lower cost than he used TO ply
Natural development of the railway system
under free competition has thus conferred
great benefits upon all the Western farmers
and all tie Eastern consumers.
The Interstate bill turns back the hands OF
the clock, and sets the country back five, ten
or twenty years, according to the efficiency OF
it's enforcement. After a year we shall know
bout how much the through rates are likely
to he affected. But be the change greater Oh
less, whether it adds 10, 20 or 30 cents per
bushcl to the cost Of transportation, that en-
tire increased cost will not be paid by con
sumers. Part. and probably the largest part
will be borne 10y the Western farmers in re-
duccd prices for their products. The markets
of the whole world affect the price IN Eastern
seaports. The Interstate bill does not make
the wheat of India, Egypt or Australia cost
more money in the Liverpool market and
hence the price at Atlantic ports must be con
trolled in a measure by conditions irrespective
of the cost of transportation from Western
farms. II the seaport price should not change
